Military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq consumed so much attention during his presidency that few people appreciated that George W. Bush was also an activist on the home front. Despite limited public support, and while confronting a deeply divided Congress, Bush engineered and implemented reforms of public policy on a wide range of issues: taxes, education, health care, energy, environment, and regulatory reform. In Bush on the Home Front, former Bush White House official and academic John D. Graham analyzes Bush's successes in these areas and setbacks in other areas such as Social Security and immigration reform. Graham provides valuable insights into how future presidents can shape U.S. domestic policy while facing continuing partisan polarization.

Industry Reviews

"An important contribution to scholarship on the Bush administration and on presidential policy-making strategies more generally."Gary Jacobson, University of California, San Diego "Using not only the author's own experience as a Bush appointee but painstaking research on congressional votes, amendments, and procedures, Graham chronicles a number of important policy issues addressed during the Bush presidency." Veronica V. Stidvent, LBJ School of Public Affairs, University of Texas at Austin "Informative, thoroughly researched, clear both in structure and presentation, and provocative... Will likely serve as a source document for other views of the Bush presidency... A significant addition to the public policy literature on the Bush presidency." Donald R. Arbuckle, University of Texas at Dallas
